The answers to the user question of February have now been analyzed. In total, we received 84 replies to the questionnaire. One submission was counted as a duplicate. Cases where all three fields were set to the same plugin have been only counted once. The plugins with more than three mentions are:

I'm a bit disappointed by the number of replies. I'd have expected more answers (everybody uses plugins, right?)

For the next question of the month, I'd be interesetd in something regarding the docs and its usage. Some rough ideas to polish for the survey:

1- What is your first source of information on QGIS features: SE, QGIS lists/user groups, local forum, QGIS doc, web browser, social network, others... (to sort by frequency of usage) - Here I mean when they want to learn something not hear about something

2- If/When you use QGIS doc, does it answer your needs? Yes, no, i don't use (or we can graduate: always, often, rarely, never(?)...)

3- How often do you use the QGIS Doc?

4- Suggestions for improvements or other comments... (on what they miss or think docs should be/do)

Now that we are releasing the 3.4 docs, it should be fair to know whether people do refer to the docs, use them and get feedbacks (critics or expectations for the next round).

Harrissou

If you don't know these plugins yet, they might be worth checking out.

So far, we haven't settled on a new user question yet. If you have an idea for a question that would be interesting to ask, please let me know.

Based on these results, during yesterday's PSC meeting, we've been discussing potential strategies to better inform users about all the different options for contributing to QGIS. So thanks to everyone who provided feedback!

1. What is your first source of information on QGIS features?
- QGIS User Manual, Stack Exchange, QGIS mailing lists, a regional forum,
search engine, social network, other
Perhaps my only concern is that the phrase "information on QGIS features"
might be too generic. Should we keep it, but add extra questions
specifically about eg problem-solving/how-to?

How about:

1. What is your first source for information on how to use QGIS features or solve problems?

Since this topic has come up again on a different thread (and we should soon have a better way to distribute links to our questionnaires) I'd like to encourage you to send me the questions you'd like to run.

Based on the earlier discussion, this is what I end up with (I rearrange the questions):

1. What is your first source of information on how to use QGIS features or solve problems?
- QGIS User Manual, Stack Exchange, QGIS mailing lists, a regional forum,
search engine, social network, other

2. On average, how often do you try to find information on QGIS features or solve problems?
- daily, 2-3 times per week, once per week, 2-3 times per month, monthly,
less often, never

3. If/when you use the official QGIS documentation to learn how to use QGIS features or solve problems, does it answer your
needs?
-always, often, sometimes, rarely, never, I don't use the official
documentation

4. On average, how often do you use the official QGIS documentation to find information on QGIS features or solve problems?
- daily, 2-3 times per week, once per week, 2-3 times per month, monthly,
less often, never

(selecting "I don't use the official documentation" in question 3 would hide this question)
